Retirement-Ready Extensions: Ground Floor Master Suite & Kitchen Upgrade

Over a decade, Ian and Fiona cherished their Onehunga home, filled with memories of raising their children and hosting family gatherings. As their children moved out, they envisioned a space tailored for their retirement years. Their dream included a ground floor master bedroom to eliminate the need to climb stairs and a modern kitchen where Fiona could indulge her passion for cooking and entertaining.

The Challenges

Operating on a limited budget, Ian and Fiona sought to transform their home without compromising on quality. They needed a team that could navigate building consents, design a seamless extension, and select materials that complemented their home’s traditional style. Add Value Renovations stepped in to meticulously plan every detail, ensuring the new spaces met their functional needs and aesthetic preferences.

Before & After

Drag the slider and see the transformation!

Originally, the house featured three bedrooms upstairs and living areas downstairs. The renovation introduced a spacious master bedroom on the ground floor, complete with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, allowing Ian and Fiona to age in place comfortably. Fiona’s dream kitchen became a reality, boasting custom cabinets, modern appliances, and ample counter space, perfect for both everyday meals and entertaining guests.

The Transformation

The final result is a harmonious blend of functionality and style. The extension seamlessly integrates with the existing structure, enhancing the home’s value and ensuring it serves Ian and Fiona well into their retirement years. Beyond the immediate benefits, the renovation has significantly increased the property’s market appeal, offering peace of mind for the future.

Simon and Joanna of Add Value Renovations planned and completed our en-suite upgrade. We are entirely happy with the finished product and the service and care they provided. We especially appreciated the direct communication with Simon. He is a good man — honest, reliable, and easy to work with. The attention to detail and quality of the finish was outstanding.

Just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the outstanding work you've done! A ext. renovation done by Add Value was truly a remarkable transformation. The kitchen and bathroom designs are not only aesthetically stunning but also highly functional. It's evident that a lot of thought and care went into every detail.

We have used the services of Add Value Renovations twice over three years, once for bathroom renovations and more recently for our kitchen and deck. The quality of work has always been excellent and any issues that arose were dealt with promptly and professionally.
